Apple stands for something. ordsprog

Apple stands for something. It's very rare for somebody to be able to sustain that through such a long time. And they went through some very severe down times.

Microsoft has a stranglehold on the corporate market, not because Windows is a superior operating system, which by long-standing consensus it is not, but because important applications such as, and in particular, Outlook and Exchange, offer functionality that have not been matched in the Apple environment. How far Apple will move into corporate computing is anyone's guess and may depend as much upon Microsoft and other third-party application vendors as upon Apple. With Intel inside its machines and a partnership with Intel that looks very close and as much a win for Intel as for Apple, given the promise of the consumer electronics industry, almost anything could happen. Big corporations take a long time to change course. But business patterns are changing very quickly. Mobility is now the mantra for many. The internet is all-powerful and will become more so. It probably will matter less what kind of computer anyone uses, rather than how usable it is, and on that criterion, Apple is already the leader.

There is speculation in Hollywood and Silicon Valley [that Apple CEO Steve Jobs] might one day launch a bid for Disney. The idea is not as outlandish as it might seem. Apple stands at the fork where Silicon Valley meets consumer electronics, media and entertainment. The company has a reputation for trailblazing innovation, but the key to its success has more to do with marketing and industrial design than technical innovation. Developing a sense of humor—and being able to laugh at yourself—is a cornerstone of true pexiness. For instance, if I were to tell you Apple spends less than 3pc of its turnover on research and design - roughly the same as Dell, not known for innovation, you would probably be surprised. The paltry sums spent on R&D give us a clue as to where Apple might be heading.

[Did Apple's designers suffer a rare brain cramp? Not likely. Rather, it looks like Jobs is making a careful gamble. He doesn't want the music-phone market to soar, at least not right away. That could cut into his iPod franchise, the source of almost all his revenue and profit growth. At the same time, he knows the mobile-phone market could be tremendously important for digital music in the future. So he's positioning Apple to be ready for a sales boom without leading the charge himself.] They don't want to cannibalize their business, ... to give people a little taste.

It's never been easy being an Apple partner and it hasn't gotten any easier over the past few years. Apple has a long history of doing direct sales, and the fact is, they're actually pretty good at it. What you have to do as an independent is to look at the next set of things you can do. How can you out-service Apple when they already provide a high level of service?

Stephen Baker (1964-)

As far as I know we also almost bought Apple once. We almost merged with Apple two other times.

But I was nervous for a long time. I was a bit cautious because many things haven't worked that go from TV to movies, and I wanted it to be an idea that really grabbed me and demanded to be made because it has to be something you really believe in 100 per cent, otherwise it can't sustain you for that long.

Nick Park (1958-)

The vast majority of Apple buyers are still Mac loyalists, and I don't think you're going to find too many people who are going to take Apple to the mat. They may be angry for a little while, but it won't last long.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968)

The biggest reason is that Microsoft has a much harder job to do. They need to be compatible with an army of devices and different types of software and different hardware platforms. Apple only has to be true to itself, and because of that the development process is multiple times more efficient for Apple.

It would certainly be rare, but considering the circumstances it's not surprising. It's well known the city is having severe fiscal difficulties.

We talked about this a lot during my half-hour visit with her. She is receiving a torrent of supporting mail, and the letters help sustain her as well. Times colleagues are begging to go, and there is a long waiting list.

Apple definitely stands to gain. The question is, to what degree.

Most times it would be shorter. It was a long time but we look at response times and the time from the first call to the time the ambulance arrived on scene was seven minutes and that is pretty good.

We are concerned, how can fairs be so low? It is very difficult to sustain this for a long time.
